Hey, It’s Christmas In Minnesota. Here’s What Santa Brought You!

Merry Christmas, Minnesota! It’s been another season of joy and celebration; and Minnesota got some pretty amazing gifts from Santa, as usual. From beautiful views to amazing culture, we have been blessed with some of the best opportunities and resources, so today let’s all take some time to reflect on Minnesota’s greatest gifts of all time.

1. Minnesota got the gift of a beautiful new layer of snow. Whether it's one inch or three inches, you hopefully got some of this present.

2. We were given top ratings for having some of the cleanest, most outdoor friendly, and most healthy cities in the country this year.

3. We're also lucky to have received some of the most amazing sunset and sunrise views that the planet has to offer. No matter the place or the day.

4. Minnesota was given some of the most beautiful water features on the planet as well, from the North Shore...

6. ... To of course the thousands and thousands of lakes we love so much.

7. Minnesota was also given miles and miles of rolling hills and beautiful prairie land. It truly is magical.

8. An amazing melting pot of cultures and residents that allow us to celebrate all the amazing traditions, fairs and festivals that we love so much.

9. The recreational opportunities to pursue all our favorite hobbies, in all of our four amazing seasons.

10. Not to mention the seasons themselves, and the beauty that comes with having four distinct ones.
